PM Modi posted on social media on completion of 50 years of Emergency.
Today, on the completion of 50 years of Emergency, PM Modi wrote social media x, it is one of the most dark chapters in India’s democratic history. The people of India celebrate this day as Constitution Husbandry Day.
On this day, the values of the Indian Constitution were sidelined, the fundamental rights were taken away, the freedom of the press was abolished. Many political leaders, social workers, students and common citizens were imprisoned.
On 25 June 1975, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi announced an emergency in the country. It remained in force till 21 March 1977 (21 months).
PM wrote- Salute to those who fight against emergency Modi further wrote that we salute every person who is standing in the fight against the Emergency. These were people from all over India, from every region, from different ideologies, who worked together with each other for the same purpose.
Protecting India’s democratic structure and maintaining the ideals for which our freedom fighters dedicated their lives. This was their collective struggle, which ensured that the then Congress government had to restore democracy and hold new elections, in which they lost badly.
PM said- I was a young campaigner of RSS during Emergency The PM also mentioned a book called ‘The Emergency Diaries’ in its post. The PM wrote, when the emergency was imposed, I was the young preacher of RSS. The anti -emergency movement was an experience of learning for me.
This showed the importance of preserving our democratic structure. Also, I got to learn a lot from all the people of political spectrum.
I am glad that the Blueraft Digital Foundation has compiled some of the experiences as a book by HD Deve Gowda, who himself was a veteran of the anti -emergency movement.
On the completion of 50 years of Emergency, a page of the book released, which has been shared by PM Modi on social media.
Statements of other leaders on Emergency …
- BJP national president JP Nadda Said, “50 years ago, the then Prime Minister of the Congress, Indira Gandhi, had announced the Emergency, which was not a political incident but a direct attack on democracy. Even after fifty years the Congress is living with the same mentality. Its intentions are still the same today that was in 1975.
- Union minister Piyush Goyal Said, it was a direct effort to crush the soul of the country. The Emergency was a conspiracy hatched by a family that was drunk and it was also proof of the Congress’ tyrannical and cruel mentality.
- Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman Wrote, Emergency was imposed in the country, handicaps of laws, violations of judicial freedom and ignoring rules. In the Congress, those who roam with a copy of the constitution in their hands, they should know that India remembers that atrocities even 50 years.
